You’ve probably been thinking and wondering how you can be more involved and join this “subarashii” group. The time and opportunity have finally arrived!! Our AGM will be held on Sunday, February 26 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. It will be held in Meeting Room #1 in the Central Library downtown. 616 Macleod Trail SE – on 7th Avenue directly across from City Hall.

The AGM is open to all JETAASA members whether you want to serve or not on the Executive Committee.

Come join us for light refreshments and learn more about what we’ve been up to, where we’re headed and, more importantly, how you can be a part of all of this!! Aside from joining an awesome group of people, serving on the Executive Committee is a great way to build/develop/enhance a number of essential job skills – leadership, special events, organizational skills, time management, networking, communication skills, public speaking… but to name a few.

If you’re unable to attend the AGM, but would like to serve on the Executive Committee, please send us an email. membership@jetaasa.ca

Remember that you can follow us on FB where we post events we hold, as well as other Japanese related news / events in Calgary.

Saturday, February 18 at 5:30 pm – Come join us for this month’s Ramen Romp at Jinya Ramen Bar in the heart of the Mission neighbourhood. It’s a new place in town and we’re going to check it out! Come join us in our quest to dine at every ramen joint in Calgary!

You don’t have to be JET alumni to take part. We regularly have JETs, aspiring JETs, Japanese community members and just plain ramen lovers come out to our Ramen Romps. Come alone… come with a friend/neighbour/coworker… come with your family… just come! :)\

These will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm starting on February 14th to March 21st at CJCA, the Calgary Nikkei Cultural and Senior Centre, located at 2236 29th Street SW.

Participants are asked to contribute $25 for the program which includes lesson materials and ingredients for the cooking portion.

These lessons are for JET alumni only. Don’t wait to RSVP as there is a limit of 10 who can take part. Please register using the link below.
